Sawing Hickory with a Surprise inside.

Hickory on the sawmill. This is a different kind of hickory than I'm used to but this particular log had something unexpected inside.

love the overhead view.

surprises in a log are rarely pleasant

Steve is going to want to go over those slabs with a "fine tooth" metal detector before he feeds it through his joiner / planer. Our 19hp Kohler is dieseling occasionally as well. Nice video guys!

I have one more of these hickory logs, biggest one. Think I'm going to test my carbide blades on it...

[@erikleorga]

I'm still amazed that after a hundred logs, I haven't hit metal yet. But, there's a first time for everything.

[@mcsawmill]

I get lots of urban logs so metal is expected.

[@erikleorga]

@@mcsawmill That's almost exclusively what I get too. Which is why I'm so surprised.

[@mcsawmill]

@@erikleorga if you want to see metal, watch my "fubar disaster" vid, that was metal...

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

Surrr-prise...and not a good one! If you try out your carbide blades don't be surprised if I am wanting you to hit a nail so we can see (at your possible expense!) how it performs 😁🤣

[@mcsawmill]

Any nail that a double hard blade can cut thru will do nothing to carbide blade but lag bolts will still stop you...
